PRESIDENT BIDEN: “I hope Trump re-thinks the tariffs, I think it’s a counterproductive thing to do— we’re surrounded by 2 oceans and 2 allies: Mexico and Canada. The last thing we need to do is screw up those relationships.”

Conservatives yell “socialism” at every initiative designed to help people.
Maybe you've heard the word a few times already today.

The books are never going to go away.
They're going to only be available to those with the means to access them.
When they remove the points of access like libraries and schools, then they achieve their goal of making everything about who has the most money and means to get the thing.

For the @nytimes.com I wrote about how Enough is Enough with the incumbent president and his cabinet of folly and let’s stop coddling Trump voters and be real clear-eyed about what lies ahead. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/17/o...

If anyone’s looking for alternatives to GoodReads, I highly recommend StoryGraph. It’s owned by a black woman, and the platform is so much more accessible and easy to use.
